Rick Majerus, basketball coach at St. Louis University, has been excommunicated by his bishop for supporting Hillary Clinton and declaring that he supported the right to life and stem cell research.

St. Louis is a traditionally Catholic school but recently received millions from the state for new facilities after a court hearing declared that they were Not "a religious institution" (if they HAd been, they would not have been eligible for the grant).

the bishop says Majeris violated church doctrrine and could not receive communion unless he recanted.
